Nuclear power has been reserved for the most formidable naval vessels for decades .

Modern nuclear technology developments promise more compact, efficient, and safer reactors suitable for commercial vessels.

Modern reactors aim to address past challenges, reducing the need for large crews and complex safety measures, which previously hindered the adoption of nuclear technology in the commercial fleet.

The global merchant fleet, comprising about 120,000 vessels, faces a pivotal shift with the integration of nuclear power.

The adoption of nuclear propulsion necessitates a fundamental redesign of ship architecture.

The path to nuclear-powered commercial shipping relies heavily on collaboration with regulatory bodies.

Success will depend on continued technological innovation, regulatory support, and a strong commitment from the global shipping community.
